Spent a day in Utrecht

On Tuesday 5 januari 2016 Gayleen and I got together in Utrecht. We strolled through town looking for the old Grocerieshop museum, but I accidently led us to the closed Watertowermuseum first. It was a nice walk though;)



































Souvenirs from the museum. I bought old fashioned candy 'borsthoning', nom.

After Gayleen went back to The Hague, I visited Jelle for dinner. The train home had to go real slow because of ice on the tracks, but I made it safely back to Z. around midnight \o/

Winter Efteling with Gayleen and Janelle - December 14, 2008


By Train from The Hague (8.51 am) to Tilburg (10.04 am)


By Bus from Tilburg (10.45 am) to De Efteling (11.05 am)


Tadaah: The entrance to De Efteling


Because it's The Winter Efteling, the gate is covered in ice and snow:)


Fairytale forrest: Mistress Holle


Chinese Nightingale-entrance


Chinese Nightingale: reading the story in the fairytale book


Vogelrok = Birdrok = rollercoaster in the dark. It's AWESOME! (see below:)


Tree near the Pagoda


View from the Pagoda


The lights in the Carnival Parade waiting area were freaking Janelle out *g*


Gayleen was swirling in the cart behind us.


Dragon in the Carnival Parade. Not as disturbing as the hideous music. Or the prostitute in the French Quarter. This is a very weird kid's ride. *g*


Wintery-view from the park on the Pagoda.


I love the lights even more in winter. So preeeeetty.


The ATM-cash machine in the park:)


Spooky scene in the Haunted Castle

All the trees have lights in them. This is one of my favorites.
